What is Music For?

In my time as a music teacher, I’ve met far too many people who used to play piano or other instruments — who took lessons as children and were so put off by the experience that they haven’t touched the instrument since. For me, the point of making music is enjoyment and expression… to learn more about who we are and what the world is by exploring pattern through sound, through our own bodies. Learning new skills and increasing proficiency are important tools, which can help us to share what’s meaningful for us through the medium of sound. We may choose to perform for others, but to begin with, we make music for ourselves, because we love it.
